Hi!

I get the following:

simon:~# ./tclkit mkstats.kit settings.dat-broken
settings.dat-broken: /root/mku.linux: /lib/libc.so.6: version 
`GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by /root/mku.linux)

Weird, especially since it is a static executable ... (at least I 
downloaded the static tclkit and ldd says it's a static executable).

In my case it was a classic hard disc crash, so it might be that the 
settings file was already damaged when the last backup was made.

bye, Georg
